Why so much hype?

People are voting emotionally.

Fresh and Exciting

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

With a title like ATTACK OF THE BEAST CRETURES you're certainly not expecting CITIZEN KANE but even with very low expectations this is a dreadful movie and what let's it down is the technical aspects . " What technical aspects Theo? " Exactly . From the very opening frame of the film you know you're going to be watching a shipwreck of a movie In fact everything about the film can be summed up by the opening . We have a totally inappropriate soundtrack played on a synthesiser . Michael Mann's THE KEEP also a bizarre soundtrack that feels it belongs to an entirely different movie but at least that film redeemed itself by some great cinematography and camera work . Here it seems the director took his mates on a day trip to the beach . Everything about the movie screams amateur film maker Perhaps the most noticeable thing is the acting or rather the lack of it . I genuinely thought this was an Italian movie badly dubbed in to English . It's certain ly got that vibe where any emotion or inflexion in the voices is totally negated by other people calmly talking their lines as in " Oh no I'm being attacked by a horde of monsters mercy me " in the same sort of tone you'd expect someone to read out their laundry list The only saving grace - and I'm being totally charitable here - is the eponymous beast creatures themselves . It would be very easy for the director to get a bunch of extras to don wigs and pretend to be flesh eating monsters . Here we have what effectively fairground gonks that attack the cast and who are less wooden than the cast which means this movie gets three out of ten instead of two out of ten

Remember the zuni warrior devil doll from Trilogy of Terror? Imagine hundreds of these creatures inhabiting a desert island. A handful of shipwreck survivors end up on the island, and it's almost immediately a pitched battle to see if they can survive against these toothy tiny terrors. Shot in little old Connecticut with an amateur cast and no budget, this drive-in fright flick more than makes up for its shortcomings each time the little monsters attack. They're just puppets, but you wouldn't want to tangle with one, never mind dozens. And they can outrun you. The only thing missing from this '80s camp classic is a nude scene, which should have taken place when the female survivors go for a dip in a pretty little lake. No such luck. But the gore sort of makes up for it.

This is a monster movie about shipwreck survivors attacked by little goofy monsters.It is a complete throwback to the 1970s Hitler idealism decade, when only the blondest woman and the darkest man are allowed to survive, whether by Nature or God, doesn't matter, so long as the survivors are only Hitler and Eva.You can tell that's what this is early on, as everything is contrived for the cliché.I can forgive the low budget, stupid looking creatures. That's no big deal, and maybe even the horrid acting, but not the terrible script, and definitely not the stereotypical Hitler idealism. I've known many brunettes who have been killed, and there is no doubt that sick movies like this inspired people to believe that it was okay. The makers of sick movies like this are as much to blame as the evil they purposely cause.IMDb has a history of Hitler idealists, so this goes over well with the many nazi IMDb posters, but not with guys. It is a boring, dull world without brunettes for guys.There just isn't anything fun about this trash. One of the 100 worst movies ever made, on any list of any sane man who has seen it.

The plot of "Attack of the Beast Creatures" is relatively simple:a group of castaways land on a mysterious and deserted North Atlantic island with trees and deadly acidic water.The island is inhabited by flesh-eating critters that promptly start killing survivors.Badly acted and amateurish horror flick that is strangely compelling and entertaining.There is a lot of walking in "Attack of the Beast Creatures",so patience is needed.The dialogue is outrageously banal,but the attack scenes are hilarious and bloody enough.The tiny wooden dolls are cute and they provide plenty of campy entertainment.They hide in the trees and run through grass like crazy in pursuit of their screaming victims.Nasty little natives,I kid ya not.Give this obscure little creature feature a look.8 out of 10.
